CLG:  Tuesday REMINDER and sad announcement


I’m sad to share that our friend Jess from Wye Mountain Mushroom Farm passed away in an accident. Jess loved his trade, was passionate about nature and the outdoors, and set out to live his life to the fullest. I remember him telling me that, although he loved his business, he took breaks every time he could to go out and enjoy life and it’s adventures. May we all remember to make the most out of the time we have, like Jess did. He will be sorely missed by our community. Please keep him and his loved ones in your thoughts.

Last day to put in your orders for the week.

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm week of Apr 30 and metabolic syndrome


It’s wednesday evening, almost not relevant to send a reminder to y’all about our fresh picked veggies, which now includes rhubarb and asparagus.
Suffice to say, there’s 20 different greens, for cooking and salads, lots of flavours.

Surf to the online store here to place your order. Store pick up Thurs 4 to 6 or by arrangement.

But more interesting, you should really have a listen to this kitchen table explanation by Dr Robert Lustig (UCLA credentials) on metabolic disorder. What’s that? That’s the precusor to adult onset diabetes, kidney disorder, overweightness, and much more. It’s about the food we eat or rather, don’t eat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=onVqjZOYlQs

Dr. Robert Lustig joins Nate Hagens to dive into the metabolism of the micro level of human systems – the humans ourselves. Over the last century, accompanying the transformation of our energy systems, our food and consumption patterns have been massively transformed. One of the biggest areas of change is the dramatic increase in sugar consumption. But are our bodies adapted to eating such high sugar, processed foods? What are the health effects connected to this way of eating?

Eat healthy,
Ian and Cami
